WBUR reviews Upstander Project’s short film Bounty and interviews filmmakers and participants about the importance of the film. “Adults often fear saying the wrong thing, or teaching the wrong thing and upsetting other parents, acknowledges co-director Adam Mazo.” That is why Upstander Project aims to educate and mobilize people against injustice.

Opinion piece written by Dawn Neptune Adams, Maulian Dana with Adam Mazo for The Guardian. This piece focuses on the fact that the settlers whom many Americans mythologize at Thanksgiving as peace-loving Pilgrims issued government orders offering cash for dead Native American children.

A review by GBH of Bounty, which “centers on the bounty system established by colonial Massachusetts to incentivize settler-colonists to exchange the scalps of Indigenous people for substantial pay. The film’s creators intend it as an experience that leaves viewers reassessing their own relationship with history.”

Watch a clip of Bounty and listen to an interview with filmmakers and CBSN Boston.

“This year’s GlobeDocs covers a wide range of subjects and approaches, emotions and styles, even including, yes, animation.” Upstander Project’s short film Bounty is included in this stunning line up of films that look into dark subjects while also trying to bring smiles and hope.
